Hello Jada,
I think you may mean watermark rather than waterproof!! But I don't
think this prevents copying.
This is extremely difficult to do effectively as it is so easy to find
workarounds.
The best way would probably to save each page as an image rather than
text and then save it as .pdf - there may be an easy way to do this
commercially, but it is unlikely to be cheap.
You can set it as "read only" - but the problem here is that it is easy
for anyone to "copy and paste", creating their own editable document.
I had this problem recently and I resorted to hard copy. Quite a lot of
printing (and then there is the cost of delivery). But I think this is
really the only safe way.
By the way I think that you will get far better feedback from hard copy.
First they can write on your pages and secondly no-one will be
frustrated from seeing only one screenful at a time. With hard copy you
can stick fingers (or other bookmarks) into several different places to
be able to flip back and forth....

Hello OpenOffice,
I am wondering how you can waterproof a document on OpenOffice. I am a
writer and I am trying to send a copy of my book to people who are giving
me feedback. I don't want others to edit my book while they are viewing it.
What is the best way to send people a copy of my book, and they can only
view it?
Thanks,
Jada Schallhorn
